Jerry Joseph has announced that he will drop his new album The Beautiful Madness on Aug. 21.
The singer-songwriter enlisted longtime friend Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers to produce the project, and much of the backing tracks were performed by the Truckers themselves.
“From the moment Patterson and I began talking about making this record, I thought Patterson could read instructions from chemtrails or star dust. His commitment to the work and his drive and leadership to deliver how he heard the record in his head was unwavering," Joseph explained via press release. "...He pushed me into places I didn’t know existed, for me anyway, to an end that I think we are both very proud of.”
“My goal was simple. I considered Jerry one of the absolute best songwriters of our generation and wanted to make an album that, above all, backed up that argument," Hood added.
